Wow what a lovely weekend at Long Point!! i would first like to thank Belonda Howlett, Sandra Staples and Sara Ward for helping to make such a great weekend!
Here are some of the lo's i completed over the two days, some people suggested that i have changed my style somewhat let me know in the comments if you think that i have.

MY DAD is the first lo id like to share where i have started to use some paint on my background. i feel that this page is happy!

Friends forever is dedicated to my good friend Pip who was coming to the retreat but could not make it. Yes Pip i am stitching!! Love the new isew tool that i recently bought well worth the money!!

This one is for Jacks album, the many faces of Jack, loving using the A-Lil-Somethin embellishments the cogs and houses are awesome for my pages.

Chocky is for Naytes album, loved how the stitching worked on this page!

The next is for the holiday album, i love how this turned out it was done at about 1:30am in the morning.

This one was my very first lo that i have ever used paint on. really love how it come together the stitching took a long time to do!!

This lo was done for the sketch challenge!! love the way it come together!!

This lo was my first at the retreat, i love the WOW chipboard cog it helped to bring the page together.

I had so many photos of Timber town that i wanted to use them all so i popped them all together on this page it was the fastest page i have done in such a long time.

This lo come together quickly as well!! happy with the end result!

﻿My last lo of the weekend was this Halloween page, loved using the rub on and chipboard embellishments.

After a lovely night at Storyboards, i have some quick lo's to share, The first being "Build' using this months kit Kelsey.. Love the colour combo, very well suited to my Boy layouts. The simple tie if the bow using the material was very successful it brightening up the lo!!

My 12 by 12 Holiday album is coming together really nicely!! Those of you who know me, know that i rearly do 12x12 pages, but with this album i had little choice!! I have so many photos to scrap that the bigger album is more suited to the bigger format!!
Anyway some quick shares for you, i am starting to use a little more paint in my lo's and enjoyed doing some straw blowing on this Double. Something also rearly do is use raw chipboard but love what it did for these pages. Kaitlynne Royl mentioned that this was not my usual style, but i am pleased with the end result.

The third lo come together really quickly, i love the summery feel to this page!! I really love this Photo of Nayte.

A Short break from Work means more time for scrapping!! i have really loved this months kit from Storyboard kits i have managed to to two lo's from the kit so far... Lisa warren has managed to do seven, that's one great kit!!
Anyway, i loved having a play with all the lovely elements in the kit, using the hessian and fabric was somewhat of a challenge, but pleased with the end result. I did add a chip board branch to add some depth.

This kit has also shown to be versatile when it comes to gender... its not out of place with my boy los!! it did lend itself nicely to do my Strawberry lo!!

Last night was wonderfully relaxing, catching up with some friends that i have not seen in a while!
at the Storyboards monthly crop!!
i did manage to do just two layouts, the first took me most of the night to complete with all the fussy cutting. It is based on this weeks palette #52 (see below) from The Colour Room. really pleased with the end result!!
I have put the palette below, would love to see what you can do with these lovely colours!!

The second is a very quick layout i whipped up to complete the night.
Thanks lisa for a wonderful night!

Another lo for the colour room challenge pallete no #51 I thought that this combo would not work with any of my photos. The misting and inking really helped to make the colours pop!! really pleased with end result!!
cheers Ren

When we went to the zoo on holidays Nayte put his finger in the cockatoo cage and got a nasty cut from a hungry bird!! Jack was really upset about it and returned to the cage to ask the bird " say sorry to my brother". when i asked him if he thought he could answer he said he can say hello he sould be able to say sorry!!
This layout was done using the latest colour pallete #47 from the color room a really nice combo!!

The next is one of this months Inspired Blueprints sketch #65, i have worked the sketch around somewhat, but really happy with the end result!! One of the quickest lo's i have done in some time!!

A big thankyou to Lisa Warren for giving me some of her spare chip board, that was perfect for this lo, i love these photo's great memories!!

The next lo to share is Feb 15th Stuck sketch another great sketch to manipulate and use for two photo's again i really enjoyed doing this sketch as well!!
